#2 Not many political intriguesĪnother very important aspect why this series was super special were the political intrigues that played a huge role in book 1&2. Don’t get me wrong here, I totally ship them, they’re awesome – but it just went a little too fast from wicked and cruel to super sweet and emotional. But then it turns out that the exile was only meant to be a kind of joke/provocation and that he truly loves Jude. I spent hours trying to figure out what sort of a character he is and I loved that Holly Black was able to create such a complex character.

Cardan was the only literary characters who’s intentions I wasn’t able to figure out and who’s actions weren’t just a little see-through at some point. This is one of the main reasons why I hyped this series so much. I will devide this review in negative and positive aspects, but will start off with the negatives ones! #1 Cardan’s unknown intentions actually being super sweet She’s forced to engage in the country’s political intrigues and and her action will shape the country’s future more than ever… Jude is forced to choose between her ambition and humanity as Faerie is on the brink of war.
